PREKACK, 



This being the first edition, it will not be quite as perfect as it is hoped 
to make succeeding issues, but no time or expense has been spared in 
gathering all valuable information. It is arranged alphabetically; there- 
fore no index is necessary. Any information regarding a particular place 
will be found under its proper heading, with description and correct loca- 
tion; for instance, the art schools will be found by turning to the A's, 
chamber of commerce under the C's, parks under the P's, etc. This work 
is not an advertising scheme. Wherever advertisements are inserted they 
appear as such, and not in disguise. It fills a legitimate field, comprising 
important information in one book, that has heretofore only been given in 
sections and at random, and much of which, though valuable, has never 
been published before. 

The information contained in this dictionary has been obtained when- 
ever possible, from official quarters, and is therefore authentic and reliable.

DICTIONARY OF DETROIT 



AND ITS VICINITY. 



Abandoned or Lost Property, 

when found by Detroit police, is 
turned over to police headquarters, 
cor. of Bates and Randolph streets. 
Articles left on the horse cars, elec- 
tric roads or ferry boats, may be 
recovered by applying at the re- 
spective offices of these companies. 

Abattoirs.— The largest abattoir 
in Detroit is located on Dix ave. and 
Michigan Central R. R. It is the 
property of the Michigan Beef and 
Provision Co.; office is located on 
Cadillac Square. There are several 
smaller abattoirs, but they are used 
only for retail trade. 

African Methodist Episcopal 
Churches.— The following list gives 
the names and location of those in 
Detroit : 

Bethel A. M. E. Church, comer 
Napoleon and Hastings streets. 

Brown's A. M. E. Church, comer 
Thirtieth and Jackson streets. 
^ Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, north 
side Calhoun, bet. Beaubien and St. 
Antoine streets. 

Aldermen. — The legislative 
power of the city is vested in a 
common council, composed of 33 
members, who must be qualified 



electors, one of whom is elected in 
each ward of the city, at the annual 
city election, for the term of two 
years, from the second Tuesday of 
January next ensuing their election. 
They have power to enforce, pass, 
and repeal city ordinances, subject 
to the approval of the mayor, and 
to pass resolutions over his veto by 
a three-quarters vote. They meet 
at their own pleasure, usually once 
a week, but occasionally at greater 
intervals, in th^ room in the City 
Hall. 

Ambulances. — An ambulance ser- 
vice is connected with the Harper, 
Grace and Emergency hospitals, and 
also at 283 Rivard street, under the 
charge of the City Poor Commission. 
Boyd's ambulance, located at the 
same place, is engaged by railroad 
companies and a few larger corpor- 
ations. All the patrol wagons in 
the police service are so equipped 
that they may be instantly used as 
an ambulance. (See Horse Ambul- 
ance.) 

Amusements. — Detroit is well 
provided with amusements, both 
summer and winter; in the latter 
the three large opera houses and^ 



AlSir— ART 



Wonderland Musee are always in 
full blast, and this year the Lyceum 
has inaugurated a season of summer 
opera. Wonderland Musee will be 
open nearly if not quite all summer, 
and there will be summer opera at 
Des-Chree-Shos-Ka, an island resort, 
eight miles down the river, besides 
the usual skating and other pastimes 
in winter, boating, excursions, and 
many other amusements in summer. 

Architectural Features.— De- 
troit has many fine buildings, both 
public aDd private, of modern con- 
struction. Among those erected in 
the last few years are the Hammond, 
an office building, ten stories high, 
exterior of brown stone and brick, 
interior mainly of iron, and finished 
from top to bottom with white mar- 
ble. It is perfectly fire proof. The 
Hudson building is of a different 
type, being for retail business; it is 
also built of brown stone and brick, 
eight stories high, and one of the 
many attractions to be found in it is 
an observing tower on the top, from 
which a splendid view can be ob- 
tained. The two Union depots are 
fine examples of modern building; 
other fine buildings are the Campau, 
Newberry and McMillan, Moffatt, 
Whitney, Hodges, McGraw, Board 
of Trade, Cadillac Hotel, Russell 
House, Ste. Claire Hotel, Court 
House, City Hall, Public Library, 
Art Museum, Detroit Opera House, 
Lyceum Theatre, Whitney's Opera 
House, and many others too numer- 
ous to mention, ranging in height 
from five to ten stories. A trip up 
Woodward avenue or out Jefl:erson 
avenue, by electric car or by car- 
riage, both streets being paved with 
asphalt, would show many fine 
churches and private dwellings, 
built of brown stone, white stone, 
white marble, various colored brick, 
and many other odd but pleasing 
materials ; mention should also be 



made of the new post c^ce, which 
is in course of construction, of white 
stone, occupying an entire block, 
and which will be the finest and 
largest building in this part of the 
country ; the new Chamber of Com- 
merce building, now being built, 
will also be a very fine building. 

Art Museum.— This building is 
located on Jefferson avenue and 
Hastings street, and is an imposing 
and beautiful edifice, situated as it 
is in the midst of elegant private 
residences. The Museum contains 
hundreds of fine paintings, statues, 
interesting relics, curiosities, etc.,- 
constantly being added to ; it alsoS 
has a large class of art students, J 
which is growing in size every year. 

Art Schools.— No city in the 
country offers better facilities for 
the cultivation of the fine arts. It 
has long been known as a musical 
centre, and during the past few 
years has made rapid progress in the 
study of art. This interest is largely 
due to the refined taste of the peo-, 
pie, whose wealth enables them toj 
gratify a love of the beautiful, thai 
esult being several private collect-l 
ions of great value. There is areJ 
important school connected with the 1 
Art Museum (for location, see Art! 
Museum), with 200 students in' 
attendance during the past year. 
There is a fine corps of teachers; 
one of the largest collections of 
casts in the west, while the museum 
and gallery offer the greatest advan- 
tage for the study of . art in the 
country. Several teachers of ability 
give private lessons in their studios, 
and the vast field of varied scenery, 
within easy access of the city, make 
summer classes in out-door sketch- 
ing both popular and profitable. 

The Detroit School op Arts 
is located corner Grand River and 
Washington avenues. The school 



ART— ASS 



is open daily from September 1st to 
June 17. The object of this school 
is to afford facilities for study of the 
highest order to all those seeking 
education in the various branches of 
art. Its most important mission, 
perhaps, is to place within reach of 
the artisan, as well as the person of 
wealth and leisure, the opportunity 
of increasing his artistic knowledge 
and skill in the direct lines in which 
lie his life work. In the industrial 
or applied arts there is the greatest 
need for more artistic skill on the 
part of the workman and designer, 
and it is proposed to make the work 
of this institution of practical value 
to decorators, designers, woodcarv- 
ers, lithographers, engravers, photo- 
graphers, metal workers, silver- 
smiths, etc. , as well as to those who 
wish to follow the higher branches, 
and make a profession of painting 
or sculpture; or those who merely 
wish to take advantage of the 
facilities offered to gain a better 
knowledge of art. 

Art Stores.— There are half a 
dozen stores in Detroit making a 
specialty of this line of goods, where 
almost everything can be obtained; 
and where anything is not in stock 
it can be readily secured for cus- 
tomers. Most of these stores are 
located on or near Woodward ave. 

Art StOYes.— See stoves. 

Artistic Furniture.— Detroit is 

the fortunate possessor of many fac- 
tories and show rooms of these 
beautiful and useful articles, second 
to none in this country, in quality, 
workmanship, or price. 

Artistic Silyerware— This city 
is rapidly coming to the front in 
this interesting and valuable art. No 
better instance could be mentioned 
than the beautiful solid silver punch 
bowl, made by a Detroit fi^m, and 



recently presented to the United 
States ship ** Detroit." 

Assessors, Board of.— The Board 
of Assessors is composed of three 
members appointed by the common 
council, on the recommendation of 
the mayor, who hold their office for 
the term of three years respectively, 
beginning on the first day of July, 
and shall devote their whole time to 
the service of the city in connection 
with the duties of their office, and 
the member whose term soonest ex- 
pires shall be president of said 
board. It is the duty of the Board 
of Assessors, before the first day of 
April in each fiscal year, to assess, 
at its true cash value, all the real 
and personal property subject to 
taxation by the laws of this State, 
within the city, and make out and 
complete the assessment rolls, one 
for each ward, and also to make 
assessment roll for paving streets 
and alleys, and place the assessment 
on all street opening rolls. They 
shall cause notice to the tax-payers 
to be published in two daily news- 
papers, for two weeks prior to the 
first day of April in each year, that 
the assessment rolls have been com- 
pleted. Any person considering 
himself aggrieved by reason of any 
assessment may complain thereof 
before said Board of Assessors, and, 
on sufficient cause being shown by 
such person to the satisfaction of 
such board, it shall review the 
assessment complained of, and may 
alter or correct the same. The 
Board of Assessors, or a majority of 
them, having completed the review 
and correction of said assessment 
rolls, shall sign on or before the 
third Tuesday in April in each year, 
and return the same to the common 
council. The common council, after 
receiving said rolls, shall, at its next 
regular session, proceed to consider 
the same, and any person consider- 



ASS— ATH 



8 



ing himself aggrieved by the assess- 
ment of his property may appeal, 
in writing, to said common council, 
and they shall hear and determine 
all such appeals in a summary man- 
ner, and correct any errors which 
they may discover in the assessment 
rolls, and may increase or diminish 
any assessment as they may see fit. 
They may continue the considc- 
ation of the assessment rolls and the 
hearing of appeals for a period not 
exceeding sixteen days, after the 
time when they are first to be con- 
sidered, and on or before the expir- 
ation of the sixteen days the assess- 
ment rolls shall be fully and finally 
confirmed by said common council. 
After the assessment rolls shall have 
been fully and finally confirmed the 
Board of Assessors shall cause the 
amount of all taxes in dollars and 
cents, authorized to be assessed and 
collected in each year, to be assessed 
ratably in the rolls for each ward 
in separate columns, showing the 
amount of city, school, highway 
and police taxes assessed to each 
person or lots in each year, and 
when said rolls are completed on 
July 1st each year the board shall 
turn said rolls over to the Controller 
and take his receipt therefor. 

The city taxes are payable at the 
office of the Receiver of Taxes from 
July 1st to August 1st of each year, 
without percentage, after which 
time one per cent per month will be 
added thereto for six months, which 
becomes part of the tax, and there- 
after runs with interest at the rate 
of ten per cent, per annum. If not 
paid before the first day of June 
following the property is sold for 
taxes. 

Associated Press.— The Asso- 
ciated Press is an association of the 
principal newspapers in this country 
and Canada, organized for the pur- 
pose of gathering the news of the day. 



To most people the scope and aim 
of the association are a mystery. 
With agencies in all of the principal 
cities on this continent, and working 
in connection with similar organiza- 
tions in Europe and elsewhere, the 
Associated Press is enabled to sup- 
ply its members and clients with all 
the news of the world, on the same 
day on which it occurs. 

In the United States the Asso- 
ciated Press has a telegraphic cir- 
cuit which takes in all cities of im- 
portance. This circuit is manned 
with the most expert operators that 
are to be had, who receive all the 
matter from the wires right on a 
typewriter. Manifold copies, as 
many as are desired in each city, are 
taken, and every paper is supplied 
with copy that is ready for the 
printer to set up. J 

At each of the cities on the circuit J 
a smaller report for the smaller I 
papers in their respective district is I 
made up, consisting of news speci- ' 
ally interesting and affecting that 
particular section. The State of 
Michigan is served from Detroit, 
and all news originating within its 
confines is telegraphed to the Detroit 
agency, and from there given to the 
world. 

The Detroit papers served by the 
Associated Press are the Tribune, 
Free Press and Journal, Charles E. 
Cutter, is manager of the Detroit 
agency, with offices at 325 and 326 
Hammond Building. 

Those daily papers, published in 
the city, which do not enjoy the 
Associated Press' privileges, are 
furnished with telegraphic news by 
the United Press. 

Asylums.— See Benevolent Socie- 
ties and Institutions. 

Athletics. — Detroit enjoys the 
distinction of having several large 
athletic clubs and a number of 
smaller ones, which keep the public

Bar Library Association, of 

Detroit, was founded in 1856 for 
mutual advancement and benefit. 
The library contains about 12,000 
volumes, relating exclusively to law, 
and is open to judges and members 
from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, except 
Sunday. There are at present 200 
members; annual dues range from 
$5 to $40 Applicants admitted to 
the bar less than four years previous 
can become members for $5 annual 
dues, the fee being increased ac- 
cording to number of years in prac- 
tice previous to application. The 
library is located on top floor of the 
Hammond building. 

Baths. — A bath, either hot or 
cold, may be obtained at any first 
class barber shop, of which there 
are many located in all parts of the 
city, the usual price being 25 cents. 
There are also many places where 
one can get a Turkish, Russian, 
electric or mineral bath. Detroit 
also has a mineral spring, where 
baths may be obtained by either 
sex at convenient hours. At the 
Y. M. C. A. will be found a nata- 
torium, which can be used winter or 
summer; but the most popular place 
in summer is in the bright, clear, 
blue water of the Detroit river. 
There are two private bath houses 
situated near the Belle Isle bridge 
approach, or if provided with a 
suitable costume anyone can go to 
Belle Isle Park and inquire of the 
first police officer the location of the 
bathing beach. There will soon be 
a suitable baili house erected on the 
island, as it is an improvement much 
needed.

BEG— BEK 



Beggars.— Begging is not allowed 
in Detroit. Persons accosted on the 
street by a beggar should refer 
them to the McGregor Helping 
Hand Mission, where any honest 
person will receive aid; the Central 
Police Station also furnishes tem- 
porary lodging. 

Belle Isle Park.— Is located 
opposite the eastern end of the city, 
at the head of the Detroit river, and 
is accessible by bridge or ferry 
boats which run every fifteen min- 
utes from three different parts of 
the city during warm weather. The 
Island divides the water as it enters 
the river from Lake St. Clair into 
two streams, each about three- 
quarters of a mile wide. The island, 
which comprises about 750 acres, 
and is densely, covered with magni- 
ficent old forest trees, was pur- 
chased by the city for the purpose 
of making it a park, and cost |200,- 
000, and over $1,000,000 have al- 
ready been spent in improving it; 
the city annually expending about 
$200,000 on it. In the park will be 
found beautiful driveways, walks, 
flowers, artificial canals and lakes, 
many fountains and artistic bridges, 
both iron and rustic, and for the 
lover of sport there are three base- 
ball diamonds, a one-mile race 
course, and a bicycle race course; 
there is also a large parade ground 
just in front of the artistic and use- 
ful casino; theTe is also an elegant 
skating pavilion for the use of 
skaters in winter, two large boat- 
houses containing hundreds of row 
boats for rent, and a large deer park. 

Benevolent Societies and In- 
stitutions.— Detroit has always 
been noted for its generosity. No 
city of its size in the country can 
boast of more charitable institutions 
or of being quicker in replying to 
appeals for aid.

the association shall be to receive 
into a suitable home women and 
children of general good conduct 
and character who have been ren- 
dered homeless— or more than 
homeless — by want or distress. It 
is the intention of the home to help 
this class of unfortunates rather by 
prevention than reformatory meas- 
ures, and to provide its inmates, 
with a temporary home until they 
can be permanently placed, either 
as adopted children or domestics, 
with families of good moral charac- 
ter. A further object of the asso- 
ciation is to endeavor to secure em- 
ployment in respectable places for 
girls — strangers — who come to the 
city to seek service.

troit, on Asylum road, about seven 
miles from the City Hall, and but a 
short distance from Detroit and Bay 
City K. K. and Grand Trunk R. R. 
It was organized in 1873. The 
founder was Dr. Speckhart, who 
was a deaf and dumb teacher in 
Germany for 20 years. It is man- 
aged by the Lutheran Society of 
Missouri Synod. There are now 40 
children in the school, 120 having 
graduated. The articulation method 
is used to teach the pupils German, 
the parents being nearly all of that 
nation; it can be understood better 
than the finger language. English 
is taught in writing only.

was completed, and the orphans were 
brought there. The asylum now 
receives orphans, half orphans and 
destitute children between the ages 
of three and twelve years. The 
education imparted to the orphans 
is of a practical kind, and includes 
domestic work, besides the ordinary

gation; and sect. F north, in Wood- 
mere cemetery, reserved for Beth El 
congregation. 

Bicycling is a very popular and 
useful pastime in Detroit, on account 
of the many wide and beautiful 
streets and driveways, a proof of it 
being the thousands of riders of both 
sexes who are to be seen on the 
streets every day. The number is 
constantly increasing, as the city is 
rapidly putting in new and better 
pavements. Bicyclers are governed 
by the same rules as ordinary 
vehicles on paved streets during the 
day and evening, and are not al- 
lowed to ride on the sidewalks ex- 
cept on unpaved streets. On paved 
streets bicyclers are allowed to ride 
on the sidewalks after 11 p.m. 

Bird and Dog Fanciers.— There 

are numerous private dealers in 
both birds and dogs. The principal 
dealer in birds, dog furnishings, etc., 
is located on Jefferson avenue, near 
Bates street. The principal dog 
kennel is located on Hastings street, 
near the boulevard. 

Board of Trade.— The Board of j 
Trade of the City of Detroit was 
first organized in 1856, and was sub- 



13 



BOA— BOA 



sequently incorporated under the 
General Act of the Legislature for 
the incorporation of commercial or- 
ganizations, approved March 19, 
1863. As provided in its constitu- 
tion the object of the association 
shall be "to promote just and 
equitable principles in trade; to cor- 
rect any abuses which may exist, 
and generally to advance the inter- 
ests of trade and commerce, and 
promote the convenience and secur- 
ity of the members of the associa- 
tion." While the board is chiefly 
an exchange for the handling of 
grain and produce, it has always 
taken a deep interest in everything 
tending to promote the welfare of 
the city and the prosperity of its 
business enterprises. Its sympathy 
and aid has been cheerfully rendered 
towards the construction of new 
railroads throughout the State and 
tributary to Detroit; in the improve- 
ment of lake navigation, culminat- 
ing in the successful issue of the 
great Deep Water Navigation Con- 
vention held in Detroit in December, 
1891, for the securing of a 20 and 
21 feet channel from the head of the 
lakes to Buffalo. A continuous and 
energetic interest has also been ex- 
hibited, touching questions relating 
to freight and transportation; the 
growth" of manufacturing and mer- 
cantile industries, and Hke matters 
in commercial circles. 

Since the organization of the 
board, its membership has included 
many of Detroit's most honored and 
successful citizens, while it has been 
so fortunate in its successive admin- 
istrations in having ofiicers willing to 
devote their best judgment and 
their experience to its general wel- 
fare. This is evidenced in the fact 
that the decisions of its tribunals 
have been of such force and wisdom 
that no member of. the board has 
ever had a suit at law with another 
member in matters related to the 



board; neither has the association 
ever had any litigation with any of 
its members, although business 
transactions would reach scores of 
millions of dollars annually. Its 
receipts and shipments of grain 
during the past year have exceeded 
20, 000, 000 bushels. This is a record 
few, if any, commercial or other 
associations in the country can show. 
The board is located on the third 
floor of Board of Trade Building, 
corner Jefferson avenue and Oris- 
wold street. 

Boarding Houses are located in 
all parts of the city; prices range 
from $2. 50 per week to the price of 
a good-sized income. Almost anyone 
can be suited at one of the numer- 
ous boarding house agencies, lo- 
cated principally on or near Gris- 
wold street. 

Boating. — Detroit is famous for 
its beautiful river and Island Park. 
The latter contains numerous artifi- 
cial lakes and canals, about 3 to 4 
feet deep, which will accommodate 
hundreds of small boats without 
crowding. Boats can be obtained 
on the island for 10c. an hour, up. 
Access is had to the park either by 
bridge or one of the numerous 
and capacious ferry-boats, of which 
there are eight, which make regular 
trips to and from Windsor, Canada, 
and to and from Belle Isle, Wood- 
ward avenue, Twelfth street, and 
Jos. Campau avenue, at the uniform 
rate of 10 cents, round trip. There 
are also many excursion steamers- 
run more or less regularly between 
different points of attraction up and 
down the river and lakes for many 
miles. There are also many places 
along the river and near the bridge 
approach where sail boats and 
yachts of all sizes can be hired by 
the hour, day or week. In addition 
to the above, thousands of boats of 
all sizes pass up and down the river 



BOA— BUI

annually, but as they nearly always 
take the south or Canadian channel, 
the north or American channel at 
Belle Isle is comparatively safe for 
small boats. 

Boot Blacks may be found on 
-all corners in the business centre of 
the city. The ordinary price for a 
shine is 5 cents. Boot rooms may 
be found at all hotels, where the 
price is generally 10 cents. 

Bouleyards.— See drives. 

Bric-a-Brac. — Intending pur- 
chasers or visitors will find numer- 
ous establishments located on the 
main avenues, containing thousands 
•of different articles of this kind. 

Bridges. — Belle Isle Park bridge, 
connecting Detroit with its beautiful 
park, is 8,134 feet long, including 
approaches, and was built in 1887-88, 
ani cost about |350,000. It is 
thrown across from the foot of 
Frontenac Boulevard, nearly at right 
-angles with the channel, and 22! feet 
from the water to the bridge floor. 
There are 12 spans, a fixed span 
next the mainland, 156 feet long, 
then a pivot-draw span of 318 feet, 
followed by ten fixed spans, each of 
156 feet. Each span consists of 
three trusses, each carrjang a drive 
way 24 feet wide, and two sidewalks 
of 8 feet each. The draw-span is 
moved by steam power, and when 
open gives two passage-ways for 
vessels, each of 125 feet. There is 
also a new ornamental iron bridge 
over the Rouge River, on the De- 
troit River road, and several orna- 
mental iron bridges and unique rus- 
tic bridges are to be found on Belle 
Isle Park. 

Building Inspectors, Board of. 
— An Act of the Legislature, ap- 
proved June 17, 1885, created a 
Board of Building Inspectors for 
the City of Detroit, which shall con- 
sist of three competent mechanics 



or architects, resident electors of the 
City of Detroit, to be appointed by 
the common council on the nomin- 
ation of the Mayor, whose term of 
ofllce shall be three years, who shall 
devote their entire time to the duties 1, 
of their office, and who shall not bell 
engaged or interested directly or in- ' 
directly in the building business, 
and shall be paid such salary for ^ 
their services, under this Act, as thejl 
common council shall determine, J 1 
but not to exceed $1,200 per annum. 
It is the duty of said building in- 
spectors to make, at least once in 
each year, a thorough examination 
and inspection of all halls, opera 
houses, theatres, and buildings for 
amusement and recreation, school 
houses, churches, manufactories, 
workshops, stores, blocks for offices, 
hotels, boarding and tenement 
buildings, stands, platforms, freight 
or passenger elevators, and build- 
ings or structures of every kind in 
the City of Detroit, used or intended 
to be used or occupied by gather- 
ings of people, with reference to the 
safety of such buildings and struc- 
tures for the purpose for which de- 'j 
signed, and for the speedy and safe 
egress of the persons therein and 
thereon assembled, in case of sudden 
alarm or danger. In addition to such 
regular inspection of said buildings 
and structures it shall be the duty of 
said inspectors to promptly inspect 
any building or structure, of what- 
ever character, when a complaint is 
made, or it comes to their knowl- 
edge that said building or structure 
is unsafe, and report in detail to the 
common council, at the end of each 
month, the work performed by 
them, and all information, with 
reference thereto, and shall submit 
to the said common council, in 
December of each 3^ear, a summary 
of their work of the preceding year. 
Also by Act of the Legislature, ap- 
proved July 5, 1889, for the en- 



15 



BUI-CHA 



forcement of the factory inspection 
laws, were placed in the hands of 
this board. And by a resolution of 
the council, March 13, 1888, the en- 
forcement of the smoke ordinance 
was placed in the hands of the 
Board of Building Inspectors. 

Catholic Club.— The Catholic 
Club, the leading Catholic social or- 
ganization of Detroit, is located at the 
corner of Wilcox street and Library 
Place, one block from Woodward 
avenue and three blocks from the 
City Hall. The Club has a member- 
ship of 500, including leading busi- 
ness and professional men, manufac- 
turers, bankers, journalists and law- 
yers, and its new stone club house 
at the above point has been occupied 
within the last two years. Prior to 
that time, the Club, which was or- 
ganized in 1887, was located at First 
street and Lafayette avenue, v/liere 
it outgrew its quarters and had 
forced on it the necessity of building 
the home it now occupies, at a cost 
of $70,000. The new house is a ful- 
ly equipped home for the Club, con- 
taining reception halls and parlors, 
reading room, library, billiard par- 
lors, bowling alleys, gymnasium and 
bath rooms, a music hall, card rooms, 
and other accommodations for the 
amusement and entertainment of its 
members. 

Cemeteries. — The following com- 
prises a list of the Cemeteries in and 
near Detroit, which find for further 
information under proper head. (Al- 
so see Crematory.) Beth El. Elm- 
•wood. Forest Lawn. Free Sons of 
Israel. German Lutheran. Mount 
Elliot. Mount Olivet. Shaary Ze- 
deck. Woodmere. 

Chamber of Commerce was or- 
ganized January 5th, 1892. The 
matter had been under discussion 
for several years, as the want of a 
central commercial t)rganization was 
clearly felt. The scope of the under- 



taking was to concentrate the vari- 
ous exchanges of the city, and to 
centralize their power and influence 
on all matters pertaining to the gen- 
eral interests of the city, while the 
different exchanges would still con- 
tinue in their several legitimate fields 
of work. Much enthusiasm was dis- 
played in its organization and the 
very best and most influential busi- 
ness and professional men in the city 
are numbered in its membership. 

It having been clearly demonstrat- 
ed by previous efforts that no organi- 
zation formed to promote the public 
good could be held together without 
some financial basis for membership, 
it was determined to organize with a 
capital stock of $100,000, one thous- 
and shares or memberships of $100 
each. The yearly dues for 1892 and 
1893 were fixed at $10. Early in the 
inception of the undertaking it was 
determined to erect for itself a build- 
ing which, besides furnishing a large 
and commodious exchange hall and 
ofiices, should also become the home 
of the other exchanges, with a num- 
ber of offices for rental purposes. 

To this end a lot in the very heart 
of the city, being 88 feet on Gris- 
wold, and 100 on State, on the north- 
east corner of these two streets, was 
purchased, and plans in competition 
were made for a modern twelve- 
story structure, a cut of which is 
given 

This building, now in process of 
erection, will be twelve stories high, 
fire proof, made of structural steel, 
with stone facings for the first five 
stories, ai^d pressed brick and terra 
cotta above. Five elevators will 
make easy access to all parts of the 
building. The general Exchange 
Hall will be upon the third and fourth 
floors, two stories high, taking up 
about one-half of the space on these 
two floors. The offices will all be light 
and airy, either opening on the out- 
side of the building or on the open 



CHA-CHU 



16 



court off from State street. As this 
is the first building of its kind to be 
erected in Detroit, much interest is 
felt in its construction. It will face 
westward upon Griswold street and 
a handsome little park, which will 
occupy the space made vacant by the 
burned high school building, built 
upon the old State Capitol site. 

There are about 700 members in 
The Detroit Chamber of Commerce, 
standing fifth in point of membership 
in the Chambers of Commerce in the 
United States. It proposes, among 
other things, to do all it can to bring 
capital and deserving enterprises to- 
gether, and to aid in securing suit- 
able sites for new manufacturing 
plants. Its exchange rooms will af- 
ford ample facilities for the daily 
meetings of its members, and it will 
have the market reports from all 
parts of the world. The business 
men from different sections of the 
states who come frequently to De- 
troit, will find here comfortable oflSce 
faciUties and ready means for meet- 
ing the business men of Detroit of 
aU classes and professions. 

Its secretary will be ready at all 
times to answer legitimate letters of 
enquiry, and will welcome strangers 
to the city in search of information.

lowing is a list of the names and 
location of those in Detroit :

corner Ledyard street and Second 
avenue.

Churches, of almost every denom- 
ination in the world, can be found 
in Detroit. Christian churches, of 
course, hold services on Sundays at 
the usual hours, 10 to 10:30 a.m., and 
7 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday-school is 
held at nearly all the churches, 
usually about 2:30 p.m. Many 
churches also have meetings during 



the week. There are several syna- 
gogues in Detroit that usually hold 
services on Saturday. There are 
about 150 churches in Detroit, hav- 
ing a seating capacity of 200 to 
2,000 each. The churches are, for 
the most part, supported by the 
regular congregation, with pew 
rents and voluntary contributions, 
but strangers are always welcome.

CIT-CON 



Citizens' Yachting Association. 

— Is one of the most active organiza- 
tions on the lakes, and when any- 
thing is to be done every member 
feels that he is a committee of one to 
see that it is brought to a successful 
completion. In this manner the 
membership has grown to about 
200, and the surplus to nearly $2 500. 
The club house is at the foot of 
McDougall avenue. It is a neat 
little building of two stories. 

City Hall.— This was erected at 
a cost of $600,000, and was occupied 
for the first time on July 4th, 1871. 
It occupies the block bounded by 
Woodward ave., Michigan ave., 
Griswold street and Fort street, with 
an entrance on each of its four sides. 
It is a massive structure, five stories, 
and a tower of three stories high, 
from which an excellent view of the 
city can be had. It is used by the 
city and county governments. 
When built it was considered ample 
in size for 50 years or more, but so 
rapidly has the city grown that 
more room is imperative, and a new 
building worthy of the city will 
probably be started in the near 
future. 

Clearing House Association.— 
Is located in the rear of the Citizens* 
Savings Bank, cor. Griswold and 
Lamed streets, and was organized 
for the convenience of the various 
Detroit banks, who each send a 
clerk daily to represent them and 
transact their business.

is paneled and an inquest is held, 
and if circumstances warrant it, an 
autopsy. 

Correction, House of.— Among 
the institutions of the City of De- 
troit wide and favorably known, 
ranks our House of Correction, situ- 
ated at the corner of Alfred and 



Russell streets, and is easily reached 
by Gratiot avenue cars. The ori- 
ginal buildings of this prison were 
erected in 1860 and 1861, and cost, 
including additions since made, 
somewhat over $150,000. The total 
estimated value of land, buildings 
and appurtenances, in round num- 
bers, foot up fully $500,000. The 
management and direction of the 
institution is vested in the Superin- 
tendent, under the control and 
authority of a Board of Inspectors, 
who are appointed by the common 
council, upon the nomination of th^ 
mayor. Said Board of InspectorgJ 
consists of four members, who serve 
without compensation. Quarterly 
statements and annual reports of the 
affairs of the House of Correction 
are required from the Board of In- 
spectors, and must be approved by

electric cars. The chapel is nicely 
furnished in hard woods, and will 
comfortably seat 100 persons. It 
contains a platform for the minister^ 
or speaker, and directly in front of 
the platform is a catafalque, on 
which the body is placed before it is

CRE— DET 



gently lovv ered to the room below, 
where it is placed in a chilled steel 
crib, and then rolled into the retort 
which is heated to 2,500 degrees 
Fahrenheit. The body does not 
come in contact with the flames, as 
a good m-rn' suppose, but is placed 
in an oven in which the heat is so 
intense that it causes the body to 
change to dust in from one to two 
hours, according to the size of the 
body. The urn room is very hand- 
somely and appropriately furnished, 
and already contains a good many 
beautiful urns. There is nothing 
harsh or gruesome about the whole 
process, that w^ould jar even the 
most sensitive. It is one of the 
places of interest in Detroit, and a 
visit would amply repay any one, 
and perhaps remove prejudice 
against it. 

Curious and Old Coins.— The 

principal dealer in these articles is 
H. Smith, on Gratiot avenue, near 
the Public Library. There are also 
fine collection in the Library Mu- 
seum and the Art Museum. 

Delray. — Is located just west of 
Detroit; in fact, a stranger can 
hardly tell where Detroit ends and 
Delray commences. There are 
numerous large factories located 
there. It has a population of 5,000, 
and is reached by both railroad and 
Fort Wayne electric cars. 

Depots.— (See railways). 

Des-Chree-Shos-Ka. — Is an island 
resort about eight miles down the 
river, formerly called Fighting Is- 
land; it was bought a few years ago 
by private parties and turned into a 
summer resort. The grounds are 
nicely laid out and there is an ele- 
gant hotel and casino on the island. 



Detroit. — The City of Detroit has 
a history which is unique, romantic 
and thrilling. Few cities in any 
part of the new world have em- 
braced, in their origin and progress, 
so many changes of government, 
such peculiar methods of adminis- 
tration, and so many social trans- 
formations. Detroit has been, by 
times, a trading-post, a military 
rendezvous, the scene of fearful 
massacres, the fitting-out place of 
bands of marauding savages, the 
abode of Acadian simplicity, the 
embodiment of early western activ- 
ity, the exponent of self-satisfied 
conservatism, and the wide-spread- 
ing, widely known and enterprising 
metropolis of Michigan. It now 
literally sends the products of its 
laboratories and factories to every 
country on the globe, and to many 
islands of the sea. The number of 
persons employed in its factories 
and in the business enterprises 
naturally growing therefrom, does 
not, of itself, account for its increas- 
ing prosperity. The fact is, that a 
large proportion of its growth in 
recent years is because of its great 
attractiveness as a place of resi- 
dence, and in this respect it has no 
rival on the continent, and possesses 
advantages that are impossible to 
other cities. Located on a river 
whose waters are of unrivaled pur- 
ity, and whose entire length, of 
some twenty-seven miles, forms a 
natural harbor, beautified with 
more than a score of islands, it 
possesses a situation that is excep- 
tional, and in the summer season 
especially, opportunities for recre- 
ation are numberless. The river 
never overflows its banks, is never 
violently agitated; the supply is 
limitless; it is usually placid and 
clear and affords superior ice. ' The 
size of the river and its strong and 
uniform current, together with the 
high banks, afford superior drainage

facilities, whicli are well improved. 
The climate has enough of variety 
to give added zest to the seasons. 
The region is rarely, and never but 
for a few days at a time, subject to 
extreme changes of temperature. 
The autumns are especially pleasant, 
and the winters usually very mild. 
These and many other advantages 
unite to make the city emphatically 
a city of homes, and the United 
States census shows that in number 
of dwellings proportionate to popu- 
lation, it stands at the head of all 
cities of the country. Anyone who 
passes through the residence dis- 
tricts will see that the census state- 
ment is justified by actual facts. 
The beautiful effects of fine lawns 
and thrifty shade trees are seen in all 
parts of the city. Not only are its 
homes numerous, but many are 
surprisingly elegant and beautiful; 
and in business structures, as well, 
there are many that in any city 
would attract commendation. 

Detroit Athletic Clnb, which 
has come to be the leading athletic 
organization of the west, was 
founded April 5th, 1887, it being 
the outcome of a small organization 
known for a number of years before 
as the Detroit Amateur Ball Club. 
The D. A. C. started in as a joint 
stock corporation with 500 shares at 
$10 each, and has already increased 
its membership to 1,000. The Ath- 
letic Club grounds, which consist 
of six acres, are the finest in the 
country, and are situated on Wood- 
ward avenue, in the heart of the 
finest residence portion of the city. 
The club house, although small, is a 
model of artistic beauty, and is 
most perfectly equipped in every 
particular, and for out-door exercise 
the club has most desirable facilities. 
The membership of the club is 
drawn from a class of young men 
between 18 and 25 vears of a^e. and 



who are, taken as a whole, as fine a 
body of athletes as are to be found 
in the country. The club also has a 
number of young athletes in all 
branches, who are bound to make 
their mark in their respective lines. 

Detroit Hnmane Society for 
the Preyention of Cruelty to 
Animals and Children, was or- 
ganized November 5th, 1876, and 
has existed ever since; Jun.e 12th, 
1877, the society was duly incorpor- 
ated; in May, 1893, the society 
opened headquarters at room 21, 
Kanter building, making suitable 
arrangements for regular and effect- 
ive work, and placing Mr. Vhay in 
charge. The society owns the 
only horse ambulance in Detroit. 
(See Horse Ambulance.) 

Detroit Opera House.— Is lo- 
cated on the Campus Martins, and 
is a very popular place, nearly all 
* strictly first-class plays being pre- 
sented there. 

Detroit Real Estate Board.— 

Within the past two years there has 
been a general movement among 
real estate dealers, in ail the larger 
cities, to organize. Detroit dealers 
were among the last to respond to 
this tendency, but they finally fell 
into line, with the result that on 
December 20th, 1891, the Detroit 
Real Estate Board was organized. 
Starting with thirty-six (36) mem- 
bers, the board has steadily grown, 
until on June 1st, 1893, it comprised 
eighty -one (81) of the leading real 
estate dealers of the city. Tlie 
same motives which prompt mem- 
bers of nearly every other profession 
and calling to maintain an organiza- 
tion, actuate real estate men to do 
the same. Among the objects sought 
to be attained by this .board, in 
common with local boards of other 
cities, is the regulation of commis- 
sions in handling property, the en-

couragement of honorable dealing 
among members and between mem- 
bers and patrons, the discounte- 
nancing of all schemes not in accord 
with legitimate and honorable busi- 
ness principles, and the cultivation 
of more friendly relations between 
members. The board also collects 
and publishes a large amount of in- 
formation regarding Detroit, its 
advantages and resources, and en- 
courages, in many ways, the loca- 
tion here of all enterprises and in- 
dustries calculated to promote the^ 
advancement of the city. Through' 
its public service committee, the 
board exerts its influence in favor of 
such state or municipal legislation 
as appears calculated to advance the 
city's interests, and opposes such 
legislation as seems inimical to the 
general good. The various local 
boards of the country, acting 
through the National Real Estate 
Association, work to secure, in the 
different States, uniformity of laws 
affecting the transfer, inheritance 
and encumbrance of real estate, also 
to simplify the mode of transfer. It 
is a further aim of both local and 
national boards to elevate the stand- 
ard of real estate business and the 
personnel of those engaged In it. 
The office of the board is at 91 
Griswold street. 

Detroit Yacht Club has its club 
house opposite the driving park, 
and on the water's edge of the 
property lately offered to the city 
I for a park. The club's anchorage is 
one of the best along the lakes, and 
the situation is such that the races 
open right into the free waters of 
Lake St. Clair. 

Distances in Detroit— The dis- 
tance from the depots to the princi- 
pal hotels, not located opposite the 
depots, is about J^ mile. From the 
city hall out Jefferson avenue to 



city limits is about SJ^ miles, out 
Gratiot avenue about 4 miles, out 
Woodward avenue about 4 miles, 
out Michigan avenue about 4 miles, 
out Fort street west about d}4 miles. 
From city hall to waterworks about 
5 miles, to Fort Wayne about 4 
miles, to Grosse Pointe about 7 
miles, to Belle Isle bridge about 3 
miles.

Drinking Fountains. — Public 
drinking fountains for people are 
rather scarce, only one of any real 
value being in the city, that is the 
Bagley fountain, located near the 
City Hall, which cost $10,000. There 
are, however, numerous fountains 
for horses in different parts of the 
city, and the Humane Society pro- 
vides and takes care of a number of 
stone tubs or jars for dogs.

Drires. — There are many pleas- 
ant drives in and about Detroit, 
those on Belle Isle Park being un- 
doubtedly the finest. There are 
also many streets and avenues in the 
city which are very pleasant for a 
drive, including the new boulevard, 
which makes an entire circuit of 
the city. Many people like to drive 
to Grosse Pointe or out Woodward 
avenue, or out Fort street west, all 
of which make very enjoyable trips. 

Drugs.- -The fame of Detroit as a 
drug center far transcends any local 
or national boundaries. Its medi- 
cinal preparations are distributed 
over a domain upon which the sun 
never sets. The chief manufactur- 
ing enterprise of this kind is that of 
Parke, Davis & Co., possessing im- 
mense laboratories in Detroit and 
warehouses and offices for distribut- 
ing purposes in New York, Kan- 
sas City and London, England, in 
addition to an auxiliary factory in 
Walker ville, Ont. Five travelers 
serve to guard their interests in 
Australia; they are also represented 
in India, South America and other 
places. A number of large en- 
terprises in Detroit are devoted to 
the manufacture of specialities and 
non-secret remedies, the laboratory 
of Frederick Stearns & Co. being 
the largest of this class, with 
branches and representatives in New 
York, Windsor, Ont., London, Eng- 
land, India and New Zealand. Four 
travelers are kept busy in Austra- 
lia and two in South America. 
The wholesale drug houses in our 
city are among the largest in the 
country, and through their numer- 
ous representatives patrol commer- 
cially a large section of the west. 
The largest jobbers of drugs and 
druggists' sundries are Messrs. 
Williams, Davis, Brooks & Co. In 
respect to capital invested and diver- 
sity of products, the drug interests 



of Detroit are easily the most exten- 
sive in the United States. 

Dry Goods. —The principal retail 
stores are located on Woodward 
avenue, between Jefferson avenue 
and Grand Circus Park and tribu- 
tary streets. The wholesale houses 
are located principally on Jefferson 
avenue, between the Michigan Cen- 
tral depot and Randolph street. 

Education, Board of. — The 

school law of the city was so 
amended by an Act of the Legisla- 
ture, approved March 6, 1889, as to 
change the composition of the board 
from twelve members, chosen from 
the city at large, to sixteen members, 
elected one by and from each ward, 
at the spring election held every 
alternate year, when judges of the 
supreme court are now required to 
be elected. The Act provided also 
that, at the spring election of the 
year 1889, one inspector for each 
ward should be elected; that those 
elected from the first, second, third, 
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and 
eight wards should hold office for 
two years; their successors should 
be elected for four years, and there- 
after all members of said board 
should be elected for four years. 

Electric Lights.-— Detroit streets 
are lighted entirely by electricity, 
furnished by a private corporation, 
but the city has been given power 
to do its own lighting, and will 
probably do so in the near future. 
Belle Isle Park is also lighted by 
electricity, a plant being located on 
the island. Electric lights are also 
used in many stores and private 
residences. 

Elmwood Cemetery.— Is located 
on Elmwood avenue, principal en- 
trance at Monroe and Elmwood 
avenues. It is very beautifully laid 
out, and is well worth a visit. Fort 
Wayne electric cars pass it.

Episcopal Churches.— (See Pro 

testant Episcopal Churches.) 

Estimates.— A Board of Esti- 
mates was created by an Act ap- 
proved June 24, 1887. It is consti- 
tuted of two members from each 
ward, and five members from the 
city at large. They are elected at 
the same time and manner as the 
aldermen, and hold office for the 
same period. The members from 
the wards must have the same gen- 
eral qualifications as the aldermen. 
The five members at large are elected 
every alternate year. The members 
of the board receive three dollars as 
compensation for each daily session. 
The ex-officio members of the 
board are the President and Chair- 
man of the Committee on Ways and 
Means of the Common Council, the 
City Controller, City Counselor, 
President of Board of Education, 
Board of Water Commissioners, 
Board of Police Commissioners, 
Board of Poor Commissioners, Presi- 
dent of Fire Commissioners, the 
senior members of Board of Inspect- 
ors of the House of Correction, and 
of the Board of Public Works. The 
ex-officio members have the right 
of participation in the deliberations 
of the board, but cannot vote. The 
board elect a president from their 
members, and the city clerk is ex- 
officio the Secretary of the board. 
The board must act upon the gen- 
eral city estimates and all other 
measures for the raising of money, 
whether by tax, levy, or by the issu- 
ing of bonds. The board may de- 
crease or disapprove, but cannot in- 
crease the amount proposed to be 
raised. Only the amount approved 
by the Board of Estimates can be 
raised.

Excursions — To and from De- 
troit are very frequent during the 
summer months, ranging from a 
trip to Belle Isle Park to a trip of a 
hundred miles or more, by boat or 
rail, besides the excursions given, at 
Irregular intervals, by various socie- 
ties, etc. There are many regular 
steamers plying between Detroit 
and adjacent points, which are 
patronized as much for pleasure as 
for business. The principal excur- 
sion points are: 

Belle Isle Park. 

Des-Chree-Shos-Ka. 

Flats (St. Clair). 

Grande Pointe. 

Oak Grove. 

Orchard Lake. 

Orion Lake.

And many other places. 

Express Offices. —A package can 
be shipped from Detroit to almost 
any part of the world by express, 
most of the large express companies 
having an oflSce in Detroit or an 
agreement with the companies 



n 



which reach here. The following

Ferry Boats. — Detroit now has a 
very fine fleet of ferry boats, and 
there is no other city in the world 
where so much can be had for so 
little money, and the hundreds of 
thousands of people who patronize 
them annually is proof of this fact.

Fire Department.— The fire de- 
partment is under the control and 
management of the Fire Commission, 
a board composed of four members, 
created by act of the Legislature. 
The said commissioners having con- 
trol and management of all officers, 
men, property, measures and action 
for the prevention and extinguish- 
ment of fires within the city of 
Detroit, and empowered and direct- 
ed to possess and exercise fully and 
exclusively all the powers, and per- 
form all the duties for the govern- 
ment, management, maintenance 
and direction of the fire department. 

The terms of office of the com- 
missioners are four years, one ex- 
piring each year. They are ap- 
pointed by the common council on 
the nomination of the mayor. The 
fire commissioners receive no pay 
for their services, the office being 
purely honorary and non-partisan. 

The commission was organized 
April 1, 1867, since which time the 
fire department has been under its 
control and management. 

The fire department comprises 
the following apparatus: Eighteen 
steam fire engines, manned and 
equipped, one of these being a 
marine company or fire-boat; six 
chemical companies, manned and 
equipped; eight hook and ladder 
trucks, manned and equipped; five 
supply wagons. 

In Reserve, Without Com- 
panies. — One first-class steam fire 
engine and equipment; two second- 
class steam fire engines and equip- 
ment; two hose carts equipped 



with hose; one hose wagon equipped 
with hose. This apparatus is kept 
in readiness for instant use. 

Fire Insurance. —Detroit has the 

lowest rate of fire insurance of any 
city in the United States. This is 
undoubtedly owing to a large extent 
to the excellent fire service, which is 
second to none in the world. Rates 
of insurance for business places 
range from 75c. to $1 per hundred 
yearly, and for residences from 40c. 
to 50c. per hundred for three years. 

Fish Hatchery (United States)— 
Is located at the cor. of Jos. Campau 
avenue and Champlain street, and is 
open to visitors from 10 a. m. to 4 
p. m. Fort Wayne electric cars 
pass it. 

Fishing. — Persons fond of this 
sport can find plenty to ''occupy 
their time in Detroit river or Lake 
St. Clair. The flats, in Lake St. 
Clair, is one of the greatest fishing 
places in this country, and is easily 
reached in a few hours* ride. 

Fishing Clubs.— Most Detroiters 
are very much interested in fishing, 
but the fame of Detroit and vicin- 
ity, as regards fishing, has grown 
to such proportions that it has been 
practically impossible to confine 
the membership of fishing clubs to 
Detroit and vicinity, many of the 
members of Detroit clubs living 
from 50 to 1,000 miles from Detroit. 
The principal clubs are: 

Detroit Fishing and Hunting As- 
sociation. 

Interlaken Club. 

Lake St. Clair Fishing and Shoot- 
ing Club. 

Lake Shore Fishing and Shooting 
Club. 

Michigan Fishing and Shooting 
A.ssociation

Flats (St. Clair) — Is located about 
20 miles from the head of the De- 
troit river, and is a very popular 
hunting and fishing resort. Many 
fine club houses, summer hotels and 
private residences are erected there. 

Flowers — Are never scarce in 
Detroit, as there are several large 
green-houses located here, to say 
nothing of the many private con- 
servatories. The majority of those 
who own green-houses have a down 
town office or conservatory, where 
flowers of all kinds and for all occa- 
sions may be obtained. The address 
of the principal ones of these is: 
John Breitmeyer & Sons, cor. Gratiot 
and Miami avenues; Detroit Floral 
Co., John R. street, near Harper 
Hospital; B. Schroeter, Elmwood 
avenue and Champlain street. The 
cheaper class of flowers may be 
found in abundance at the different 
markets. 

Forest Lawn Cemetery.—This 

is the newest of the Protestant 
cemeteries, and is intended to meet 
the needs of the northern and eastern 
portions of the city. The cemetery 
is located on the line of the Grand 
Trunk Railway and the Norris 
Plank road, 5^ miles from the City 
Hall. It comprises 100 acres of 
land, admirably suited for the pur- 
pose. The land is rolling, and 
about half of it is covered with 
small trees and shrubbery. Diagon- 
ally across the grounds runs a 
brook with high banks, which will 
furnish unsurpassed vault sites. A 
gothic entrance building and a vault 
have been erected. A cindered and 
graveled driveway is completed 
entirely across the grounds. The 
projectors are confident that the 
public will agree with them in 
thinking that the best possible loca- 
tion for a cemetery has been chosen, 
and that the work that has been 



put upon the grounds is thorough 
and in good taste. 

Fort Wayne— Is located four 
miles west of the city hall, on the 
bank of the Detroit river, and is 
reached by Fort Wayne electric cars. 
It is a picturesque and interesting 
jjlace to visit; from its elevated ram- 
parts an elegant view of the river- 
and shipping can be obtained; oppD^ 
site is the ancient village of Bani-* 
wich, Can., and looking up the 
river {bo the east) one can see Wind- 
sor and Walkerville, Can., and at 
the head of the river, some eight 
miles awa}^, can be dimly seen the 
beautiful Belle Isle park, set in the 
centre of the river like an emerald 
in blue enamel. 

Freemasonry.— The headquarters 
of Freemasons in Detroit are at 
the Consistory on Lafayette avenue, 
near First street, and in the Wayne 
County Savings Bank building, 
Congress street west, near Griswold 
street. Meetings are held ever}*- 
evening except Saturday at both 
places. 

Free Sons of Israel Cemetery. 

— Located on Section E, Woodmere 
cemetery, and owned by the Society 
of Free Sons of Israel. (See Wood- 
mere cemetery.) 

Farnitnre. — Few cities in the 
United States offer equal advan- 
tages for purchasing furniture as 
Detroit, situated as it is so near the 
great furniture manufacturing cen- 
tre, and possessing several furniture 
factories, which are second to none. 
Furniture may be purchased for 
cash, or on weekly or monthly pay- 
ments, on any of the principal 
avenues. 

Gas— Is furnished Detroit and 
vicinit}^ by the Detroit Gas Co., 
office located on Congress street 
west, near Griswold street. The 



37 



GAS-HAL 



company furnishes meters, requir- 
ing a small deposit from strangers 
for the use of the same. The p^ice 
for illuminating gas is $1.25 per 
1,000 feet, and for natural or fuel 
gas 29 7-10 cents per 1,000 feet. 

Grace Hospital. — Was incorpor- 
ated November 28, 1888; opened for 
patients December 6th, 1888. The 
worthy poor of Detroit, if not incur- 
able or contagious, are treated free. 
Visitors are welcomed on Tuesdays 
and Fridays, 2.00 to 4.00 p.m., and 
on Sundays from 1.15 to 3.15 p.m. 
There is an ambulance and free dis-

Grand Circus Park— A public 
park of about six acres, bounded by 
Park street, Witherell street, Adams 
avenue, and Woodward avenue run- 
ning through the centre. The park 
itself abounds with fine shade trees, 
has two fountains, and in summer is 
a pleasant and favorite place, with 
residents and strangers stopping in 
the vicinity. The Woodward avenue 
electric cars pass it.

main channel of the Detroit river, 
and is about 73^ miles in extreme

about 1}4 miles, and contains about 
10 square miles, or 6,400 acres. The 
river below the island is some four 
miles wide, opening out into Lake 
Erie, six miles away. The cooling 
breezes of lake and river, together 
with its arrable soil and the vernal 
shade of native trees, make this an 
ideal spot for "hummer homes. 
Many of the substantial men of De- 
troit spend their summer here. 



Grosse Pointe— Is located about 
7 miles out Jefferson avenue, and 
has a number of fine summer resi- 
dences, which were built and are 
occupied by wealthy Detroiters.

Horse Ambulance.— No part of 
the work of the Humane Society is 
of more importance to the public 
than the prompt and immediate re- 
lief and removal of sick and injured 
horses from the streets to some 
place where they can be cared for. 
For this purpose the society has 
had built an ambulance expressly 
for sick and injured horses. Sub- 
scribers may use the ambulance 
whenever necessary without charge, 
except the subscription fee, which 
is quite small. Non-subscribers 
must pay for each time the ambu- 
lance is used. (See cut of Ambulance

Labor Organizations.— Like all 

large cities where there are a. num- 
ber of trades unions, Detroit has 
fallen into line, and has its council 
of trades and labor unions. The 
present trades council, as it is com- 
monly known, was organized in 
1880, when a few earnest workers 
among the trades people started the 
movement for a central body of 
trades. Little did the founders 
dream that their modest initiativ^e 
would lead to such a powerful or- 
ganization as it is to-day. Nor did 
the}^ imagine tliat the organization 
would assume the functions of a 
body having for its object the pro- 
motion of union principles in gen- 
eral, organizing and championing 
the interests of the wage workers, 
and elevating their condition mor- 
ally, intellectually and socially. 

In 1865 a central body, called the 
Trades Assembly, was organized, 
but disbanded in 1878 A year later 
it was re-organized under the name 
of the Labor League. This was also 
short lived, and in 1880 the present 
council was organized. 

Like most labor organizations 
many obstacles were encountered. 
It started with nine unions and in- 
creased to twenty, when it became 
popular to belong to the Knights of 
Labor, and the roll came down to 
seven unions. 

It soon became evident, however, 
that open organization was the best 
form of a working-class organiza- 
tion, and the different unions sur- 
rendered their K. of L. charters, and 
once more became trade unions. 

Within the last few years the 
council has grown rapidly, and at 
the present time there are 40 dis- 
tinct and separate unions connected 



with it, representing, at a low 
estimate, over 10,000 organized 
workingmen. The council is also 
affiliated with the American Feder- 
ation of Labor and the Michigan 
State Federation of Labor. 

The council now has a large and 
commodious hall in the Hilsendegenll 
block on ]\[onroe avenue, handsomely* 
furnished, together with a library. 
All the daily papers are on file, and 
also the various labor papers and 
industrial journals and leading 
magazines. This room is open to 
the members of the various unions 
and also to the public generall3\ 

The oldest labor organizations in 
the council are the printers, iron 
molders and cigarmakers. They 
also rank the largest in membership. 

The meetings of the council are 
held every alternate Thursday, and 
are open to the public. The press 
of the city also give good and accur- 
ate accounts of the deliberations. It 
may not be amiss to say that the 
delegates always take a lively inter- 
est in public affairs, and fearlessly 
champion the rights of the masses in 
all questions affecting their welfare 
in municipal and slate aff'airs, and 
keep their respective unions posted 
in such matters. They are also un- 
flinching in their support of and 
loyalt}" to the principles of unionism. 

The Central Labor Union of the 
city comprises the German labor 
organizations, who also have done 
much towards bettering the condi- 
tion of the working classes. 

Lecsville — Is located about six 
miles out Gratiot avenue, and is 
reached by street cars from Detroit.

Lyceum Theatre.— Is located cor* 
Randolph and Champlain streets, 
and is a very neat and cosy place to

Manufactures. — Detroit now 
literally sends the products of its 
laboratories and factories to every 
country on the globe, and to many 
islands of the sea. In several mer- 
cantile lines it is a larger producer 
than any other city. Of stoves, 
cars, pharmaceutical preparations 
and seeds, it markets more than is 
produced in any other city, and in 
the manufacture of furniture and 
chairs, safes, pins, tobacco, organs, 
white lead, oils, varnishes, matches 
and pearl buttons, it is, possibly, 
not second to any other manufactur- 
ing center. Other manufactures are 
iron and steel, steam engines and 
boilers, mill machinery, leather, 
boots and shoes, clothing, trunks, 
billiard tables, lumber, hoops, staves 
and heading, ale, beer and malt, and 
a good many other articles. These 
facts clearly indicate its importance 
and prosperity as a leading labor 
centre, and the output of its factor- 
ies increases steadily from year to 
year. 

Marine Hospital (United States) 
— Is located cor. Jefferson and Mt. 
Elliott avenues. 

Markets. — Central market is un- 
der the control of the city, on the

Merchants' and Manufactur- 
ers' Exchange.— The Merchants' 
and Manufacturers' Exchange of 
Detroit was organized in 1878, and 
has grown to be one of the most im- 
portant business associations in the 
west. The organization was com- 
pleted on the 26th day of March, in 
the year named, 82 members sign- 
ing the constitution on that day. 
Since that time the Exchange has so 
increased that it now,, numbers 
among its members a very large 



MER— MET i 

proportion of the manufacturers and 
jobbers of Detroit. It has not only- 
kept pace with the commercial 
growth of Detroit, but has con- 
stantly gone in advance and so pre- 
pared the way that the business of 
the city might reach out to new 
fields by new methods. 

The objects of the Exchange are 
many. It seeks to maintain a high 
and exact standard of business 
morality among the thousands of 
dealers who buy in Detroit, and to 
guard against fraud and imposition. 

By the interchange of information 
among its members they are in- 
formed of any tardiness, irregular- 
ity, neglect, or positive dishonesty 
on the part of any customer of an 
individual member. As nearly 
every merchant in the whole region 
tributary to Detroit has dealings 
with members of the Exchange, 
this serves to give a system of re- 
porting more exact and reliable 
than is possible for a commercial 
agency to supply. It is not only 
toward delinquent buyers that the 
efforts of the Exchange is directed. 
It is quick to recognize good busi- 
ness qualities and honorable busi- 
ness methods and to protect and 
advertise the credit of buyers who 
deal exactly and pay promptly. 
Thus it is as valuable to the reli- 
able retailer as it is to its own mem- 
bers, and tends on every hand to 
foster a healthy and liberal trade 
spirit. 

However important this system 
may be, it is not the only, nor the 
broadest function of the Exchange. 
Nothing of importance to the inter- 
ests of Detroit is foreign to its aims. 
It takes the lead in working against 
unjust discrimination on the part of 
common carriers, and has done 
more than any other agency to 
secure equitable rates for Detroit 
merchants, from the railroads enter- 
ing the city. It is always inter- 



^ 



ested in securing the construction of 
new railroads, where such are 
needed and seem likely to favor the 
interests of Detroit merchants. It 
has also done good service in break- 
ing combinations of insurance com- 
panies, made to exact excessive 
premiums, and has everywhere ar- 
rayed itself against every fraud and 
imposition which attacks the busi- 
ness interests of the city. 

Two results have followed from 
the work of the Exchange: first, 
the manufacturers and jobbers of 
the city have found that they can- 
not afford to do without the assist- 
ance and protection it gives; second, 
the various schemes which formerly 
bled business men as individuals 
have found that they cannot do so 
when united in so strong a combin- 
ation. To defy the Merchants' and 
Manufacturers' Exchange is to 
throw down the glove to the com- 
bined capital, shrewdness and deter- 
mination of the business men of 
Detroit, and even a railroad or in- 
surance pool would hesitate to do 
that. 

Messenger Service.— This is 

divided into three classes in Detroit. 
The Western Union Telegraph Co. 
employ 35 boys, and the Postal 
Telegraph Co. employ 25 boys for 
the exclusive purpose of gathering 
and delivering telegrams. The Am- 
erican District Telegraph Co. em- 
ploy 20 boys for service of all kinds, 
from calling for or delivering a par- 
cel to escorting a lady. Messengers 
can be summoned by telephone or 
messenger call boxes, which are to 
be found in most large business 
places. The post office authorities 
employ 8 boys for the delivery of 
letters having an immediate deliv- 
ery stamp attached.

leading business streets of Detroit, 
being lined on both sides for miles 
with retail stores of every descrip- 
tion. 

Michigan Club.— The Michigan 
Club, cor. Fort and Wayne streets, 
was organized in 1885 for the pur- 
pose of aiding the Republican party 
in this State, in the maintenance of 
its power, extension of its prin- 
ciples, and for the purpose of ele- 
vating politics and keeping political 
work upon a high plane. The 
work is done in the main by the dis- 
tribution of literature, holding of 
meetings for the discussion of politi-^ 
cal questions, and giving, once in* 
each year, a banquet to which prom- 
inent Republican leaders of the 
nation are invited and asked to 
speak upon the leading issues of 
the day. The club numbers in the 
neighborhood of 1,500 members^ 
and has been very successful in its- 
work. 

Michigan Yacht Club.— The 

club has a beautiful home of its own- 
located on the American side of 
Belle Isle Park. The club house is 
always hospitably open to members 
and their guests, and an invitation 
to any of the club entertainments i» 
well worth accepting. 

Militia of Detroit— Is composed 
of seven companies of infantry, 
averaging about 75 members to- 
each company, making two bat- 
talions, and with Company G, of 
Monroe, forming the 4th regiment 
of Michigan State troops. There 
is also a large band connected with 
the Detroit companies. Regimental 
headquarters are at 181 Jeffersor^ 
avenue, the regiment's Colonel is iiy 
charge at Detroit, subject to the 



MIL— MOU 84 

Governor, who is commander-in- 
cliief of the State troops. Part of 
the 4th regiment did duty at Fort 
Wayne in 1877. A battahon went to 
Bay City at the time of the riot 
there, and at different times they 
were under arms in Detroit armories 
during labor troubles. The com- 
panies are located as follows: 
A and F, cor. Jefferson avenue and 
Randolph street; D and H, 46 Con- 
gress street east; C, 224 Jefferson 
avenue ; B and E, cor. Woodbridge 
and Shelby streets. The medical 
staff is composed of a surgeon and 
assistant, with hospital steward and 
details from each company. Com- 
pany drills are held weekly at the 
different armories during the win- 
ter; skeleton battalion drills are 
held in one of the armories in warm 
weather; regular regimental and 
battalion drills are held out doors. 
The State troops* conform in all re- 
spects, as far as possible, to U. S. 
Government rules and regulations, 
the uniform being identical, except 
the blouse for officers. The State 
troops are composed of five regi- 
ments, forming a bri2:ade, head- 
quarters of which are at Ypsilanti. 
The Adjutant General's office is at 
Lansing. Uniforms and accoutre- 
ments are furnished by the State 
Government. 

Milk Inspector.— June 25, 1887, 

an Act entitled: "An Act to prevent 
the sale of impure, unwholesome, 
adulterated or swill milk in the 
State of Michigan, and to provide 
for inspectors," was approved by 
the Legislature of this State. Under 
this Act the present Milk Inspector 
was appointed and began his work 
under the supervision of the Health 
Board, February 9, 1888. 

Mount Clemens.— One of the 
most delightful and probably the 
most famous of Detroit's many 
summer resorts is the City of Mt. 



Clemens, which is situated about 20 
miles north of the city, on the Clin- 
ton river, a beautiful and picturesque 
stream that has its source among 
the numerous small lakes of Oak- 
land county, winding its sinuous 
course eastward through miles upon 
miles of grassy meadows and luxuri- 
ant forests. Now swiftly bubbling 
over stretches of rapids, then again 
placidly pursuing its winding 
course through its shady banks un- 
til it reaches the Lake St. Clair. It 
presents at once to the tourist, the 
artist, the hunter, and the angler, a 
boon to be once seen and ne'er for- 
got. It is, as has been often re- 
marked, " A thinj? of beauty and a 
joy forever." 

The City of Mt. Clemens is one of 
the oldest towns in the State; the 
earliest settling of whites in its im- 
mediate vicinity dating back to 1781. 
Up to within ten years back its 
growth was comparatively slow, but 
since then it has more than doubled 
its population, which at present is 
about 6,000. It is the county seat 
of JMacomb county, one of the best 
agricultural counties in the State. It 
has man}^ beautiful buildings. Its 
schools, four in number, are second 
to none in the State, both as regards ^ 
the personal acquirements and repu- 
tation of the teachers, and the 
solidity, beauty, safety and conveni- 
ence of the structures. Seven re- 
ligious denominations minister to 
the moral desires of the community, 
in as many churches, some of which 
are remarkable for their architec- 
tural beauty and design. A sub- 
stantial and commodious opera 
house caters to the desires of theatre 
goers. The many beautiful homes, 
with their well-kept lawns, through- 
out the city, at once impress the 
tourist with the fact that the people 
of Mt. Clemens are cultivated, pros-' 
perous and happy. The city has 
ample telegraph and telephone 



35 



MOU-MUS 



facilities, splendid system of electric 
lights and water — ^two things among 
many which make residence in a 
city desirable. Broad and well 
shaded streets and drives abound in 
and about the city. Its hotel ac- 
commodations are unsurpassed by 
any city of its size in the world. It 
has ten handsome^ substantial and 
well equipped hotels, which, with 
the boarding houses and private 
rooms, furnish ample and comfort- 
able accommodation for 3,000 people. 

While Mt. Clemens is a delight- 
ful resort for pleasure seekers, its 
fame as a health resort is world- 
wide. Throngs upon throngs of 
invalids and suffering mortals seek 
relief in the health giving waters of 
its famous mineral springs. They 
come on crutches, on stretchers, in 
wheel chairs, in pain and misery. 
They depart sans crutches, sans 
stretchers, full of life and health, 
thanking God that there exists such 
a veritable "fountain of health." 
Had the famous Ponce de Leon 
come to Michigan and sought for 
the fountain of youth, instead of 
seeking it in the flowery forests of 
Florida, he would have found it at 
Mt. Clemens, and gone hence enjoy- 
ing eternal youth and health, after 
bathing in those wonderful waters. 
This water possesses rare medicinal 
qualities not found in any other 
water on earth. It is a specific in 
all cases of blood and nervous dis- 
eases. 

Four commodious and handsome 
bath houses, with appointments 
complete, for both invalids and those 
taking the baths merely as a tonic, 
are conveniently located in different 
parts of the city. 

Detroit has communication with 
this beautiful resort, both by rail 
and water. The Grand Trunk Rail- 
way furnishes ample accommoda- 
tion by way of rail, while numerous 
boats make the trip by way of Lake 



St. Clair and up the Clinton, three 
miles to the city. 

The Gratiot Road, a graveled and 
planked turnpike, extending from 
Detroit north to ^It. Clemens, makes 
a beautiful drive of two liours. We 
have every reason to believe that 
ere another year has rolled by De- 
troit will be connected with Mt. 
Clemens by a motor line on the 
Gratiot Road. 

Mount Elliott Cemetery (Cath- 
olic). — Is located on Mt. Elliott 
avenue, near Champlain street, and 
is reached by Jefferson avenue and 
Fort Wayne electric cars. Additions 
have been made until it is now quite 
large; the grounds have been skill- 
fully arranged and present a hand- 
some appearance. 

Mount Olivet Cemetery.— A 

new cemetery, half mile east of 
Norris, at Mt. Olivet Station, and 
can be reached by Grand Trunk 
Railway. This burying ground is 
used for Roman Catholics only.

(succeeding the Board of Park and 
Board of Boulevard Commissioners, 
abolished by said act), and were 
given the control and management 
of the boulevard, and Belle Isle 
and other city parks. The com- 
mission consists of four resident 
electors, appointed by the common 
council on the nomination of the 
mayor; their appointment is for a 
term of four years, and they serve 
without compensation.

ous to mention. 

Police.— The Metropolitan police 
force of the City of Detroit was or- 
ganized by an act of the Legislature, 
approved February 28th, 1865, and 
entered upon its duties on the 15th 
day of May, 1865, under the direc- 
tion of a board of commissioners, 
created by said act, who were 
vested with the entire control of the 
police force of the city. The com- 
missioners receive no salary or com- 
pensation for their services. Since 
the 1st day of July, 1892, the board 
of Metropolitan police of the City 
of Detroit has been composed of 
four electors and freeholders of said 
city, appointed by the mayor. The 
members of the first board, organ- 
ized under the new act, hold office 
for one, two, three and four years 
respectively. The police depart- 
ment comprises: Four captains, 24 
sergeants, 29 roundsmen, 307 patrol- 
men, 21 doormen.

Pontiac— Is located on D., G. H. 
& M. R. R., about 25 miles from 
Detroit. It is one of the handsomest 
cities of its size in Michigan. Many 
Detroiters make their suburban 
home there during the summer. 
Orchard Lake Military Academy 
is easily reached from Pontiac. 
Pontiac Insane Asylum is located 
about two miles from the city,

Poor Commission.— The Legis- 
lature of 1879 abolished the office of 
Director of the Poor, and created 
the Board of Poor Commissioners 
instead. The board is composed of 
four members who shall serve with- 
out compensation. They have full 
charge of all matters appertaining to 
the care of the poor, and have 
power under the act to purchase 
and distribute provisions, clothing, 
fuel, medicines, etc., and may re- 
ceive and disburse donations, and 
act in conjunction with any society 
or organization for charitable pur- 
poses. The board have also the 
disbursement of the County Tem; 
porary Relief Fund within the cit; 
The Legislature of 1885 passed 
act making the commissioners me 
bers of the Board of County Supe: 
intendents of the Poor, which givei 
the city a majority representation in 
the management of the County, 
House and Asylum at Wayne. Thi^

The commissioners are appointed 
by the common council on the 
nomination of the mayor, and their 
term of office is four years. An act 
of the Legislature, approved May 
29, 1891, gives the board authority 
on the second Tuesday in June of 
each year to appoint three or more 
city physicians.

Post Office. — The business trans- 
acted at the Detroit postoffice out- 
grew the building at present occu- 
pied by the Government, and it was 
found necessary, about two years 
ago, to build a temporary annex, 
nearly as commodious as the original 
building, pending the completion of 
the new Federal building, in course 
of construction on Fort, Shelby and 
Wayne streets, and Lafayette ave. 
It will be the largest and hand- 
somest building in"^ Detroit when 
completed, costing: upwards of 
11,500,000. The postoffice at pres- 
ent is located corner Griswold and 
Lamed streets, and^the annex is lo-

furnish the public in their vicinity 
all the facilities obtainable at the 
general office, with this exception:

the purpose of their establishment is 
principally for the convenience of 
persons residing outside the free 
delivery by carriers. No carriers 
make delivery from these stations, 
nor are money orders issued or 
cashed at them. 

Carrier Delivery. — Carriers 
are required to be prompt in mak- 
ing deliveries, to be courteous in 
their intercourse with the public, to 
deliver no mail matter except to the 
persons addressed or to their author- 
ized agents (which includes servants, 
clerks, housekeepers, janitors and 
others, to whom such deliveries are 
recognized as valid by the ad- 
dressees), to receive all prepaid 
letters, postal cards and small pack- 
ages handed them for mailing while 
on their routes, and to collect the 
postage due on any mail matter de- 



livered by them. Those assigned 
to duty on certain suburban dis- 
tricts are permitted to keep a limited 
number of postage stamps for sale 
to the public. Carriers are not per-, 
mitted to deliver any mailable mat-i 
ter which has not passed througUw 
the postoffice, to exhibit, or to give 
information concerning any mail 
matter to persons other than those 
addressed, to engage in any private 
business (on their own account or 
for others) during their hours of 
official duty, to offer for sale or to 
deliver (except as mail matter)! 
tickets or others articles, to issu^ 
New Year's or other addresses or 
cards, to solicit gifts of money or 
goods, to borrow money on their 
routes or contract debts which they 
are unable to pay, or deliver mail 
matter at unoccupied premises or 
on the street (except to persons 
known by them to be authorized to 
receive it). Carriers are not re- 
quired to deliver packages the 
weight or bulk of which would 
tend to delay the delivery of letters 
or other mail matter. When such 
packages are received for delivery, 
notice is sent to the addressees toi 
send or call for them at the post-1 
office. * 

On Sundays mail is delivered on 
call at the carriers' windows, both 
at the general office and stations, be- 
tween 12 m. and 1 p. m. Collec- 
tions are made by all carriers from 
the boxes as they deliver on their 
trips. 

Collections are made by collectors 
with carts (in addition to those made 
by the carriers as they deliver) six 
times daily. Collectors leave the 
office at 6 a. m., 8.45 a.m., 12m., 
and 2.45, 5.15, 6.15 and 9.15 p. m. 
in the business portion of the city. 

Collections are also made at the 
principal hotels by collectors leav- 
ing the office at 5 a. m., 8.30 p. m. 
and 9.15 p. m. 



41 



P0S-P03 



The general collection by cart is 
made within the mile and a half 
radius from the City Hall, begin- 
ning at 10.45 a. m., of such boxes 
as are not included in the 12 m. col- 
lection, the carriers reaching the 
oflBce at 1 p. m. This collection is 
repeated in the evening, the collect- 
ors leaving the oflSce at 6.15 and 
returning at 8.45 p.m. 

A collection is made every night 
in the week, excepting Saturday 
night, from all of the street letter 
boxes in the city, the collectors 
reaching the office at 5 a. m. Mail 
matter, deposited in any street let- 
ter box before 10.30 p. m., will 
therefore be taken up in time for 
dispatch by all early trains leaving 
after 5 a. m. and for first delivery 
by carriers in all parts of the city. 

On Sundays one general collection 
' of the boxes throughout the city is 
made, the collection commencing at 
2.30 p. m., and reaching the office 
at 5.15 p. m. A collection from the 
principal hotels is made on Sun- 
days at 9 a. m., 2.30 p. m. and 8 p. m. 

Collections and deliveries on legal 
holidays are subject to such changes 
as the law prescribes or the post- 
master may direct. Notice of 
changes are always announced in 
t-he daily papers. 

Suggestions. — Expediting Car- 
riers' Deliveries. — Carriers are re- 
quired to deliver mail matter at 
stores, offices, or other business 
premises occupied by the persons 
addressed, in all cases where such 
deliveries are demanded; but per- 
sons occupying offices or stores on 
upper floors (especially in business 
buildings where elevators are not 
used) will greatly facilitate the 
work of the carriers by providing 
lock-boxes or other suitable means 
for the delivery of their mail matter 
on the first floor. This is, of course, 
not compulsory; but it is obyious 



that the general adoption of such a 
system will expedite the receipt of 
mail by all persons located on any 
carrier's route. For the same reason 
it is strongly recommended that 
boxes be affixed inside the doors of 
private residences, with openings 
through which carriers may deposit 
mail matter therein, and that at 
** apartment houses" boxes be pro- 
vided for the purpose on the first 
floors. In all these cases a signal 
(by ringing door bell or otherwise) 
may be given by the carrier when 
delivery is made. When this plan 
is not adopted, however, the carrier, 
after ringing or knocking, is bound 
to wait a proper time for the ap- 
pearance of some person to receive 
letters, etc., but must not delay the 
mail matter of other persons on his 
route by waiting for an unreason- 
able time. The schedule of carriers' 
deliveries is necessarily a fixed one, 
and the trips are so arranged as to 
secure the closest possible connec- 
tion with mail arrivals (both inland 
and local) and with the collections 
from the street letter boxes. The 
routes are so served as to suit, as far 
as possible, the convenience of the 
majority of those residing or doing 
business thereon; but simultaneous 
delivery to all is not practicable, 
and those located on the more dis- 
tant points of a route cannot reason- 
ably expect deliveries as early as 
those made nearer to the starting 
point. On routes in business dis- 
tricts it sometimes happens that a 
few persons report that the first 
delivery reaches their premises be 
fore they are opened for business, 
but that they are unwilling to wait 
for the second delivery. In these 
cases the obvious and only remedy 
is to provide a box attached to the 
outer door, and connecting with an 
opening therein, through which 
mail may be delivered by carriers on 
the first trip. 



POS— POS 42 

Special Delivery. —The law 
establishiDg the special delivery 
system provides for the issue of a 
special stamp, of the face valuation 
of ten cents, which, when attachea 
to a letter or package (in addition to 
the lawful postage thereon), will 
entitle such a letter or package to 
immediate delivery within the car- 
rier limit of a free delivery office 
between the hours of 7 a. m. and 11 
p. m., and within a radius of one 
mile from any other postoffice, by 
messengers, who, upon delivery, 
will procure receipts from the par- 
ties addressed, or some one author- 
ized to receive them. 

Deliyery. — 



^ 



Sunday Special 
Up to 11 a. m. 

General Delivery. — The gen- 
eral delivery is primarily designed 
for the delivery of the mail matter 
of transient residents and casual 
visitors; and permanent residents 
(except for special reasons) should 
not make use of it by having their 
correspondence so addressed; one 
reason for this suggestion being the 
possibility of the delivery of their 
letters, etc., to transient residents 
bearing the same names. All mail 
matter bearing no street or box 
address (and the proper addresses 
for which are not known and can- 
not be found in the directory), and 
all mail matter found undeliverable 
at its street address (and of which 
the correct address is not known and 
cannot be found in the directory) is 
placed in the general delivery to 
await call. If bearing the name and 
address of the sender, with a re- 
quest to return within a specified 
time, it is, if uncalled for, returned 
at the expiration of that time; if no 
particular time is named in the re- 
quest, or if it bears the name and 
address of the sender only, without 
request to return, it is returned at 
the expiration of thirty days if not 



previously called for. No mail mat- 
ter bearing senders' names, ad- 
dresses or requests is advertised. 

Rates of Postage. — The rate of 
postage on mail matter of the first 
class (sealed or unsealed) is two 
cents for each ounce or fraction 
thereof, excepting postal cards, and 
excepting, also, letters for local de- 
livery posted at a postoffice where 
no letter carriers are employed, in 
which case the rate is one cent per 
ounce or fraction thereof. 

The rate of postage on mail mat- 
ter of the second class, when posted 
by persons other than the publisher 
or news agents, is one cent for each 
four ounces or fraction thereof. 

The rate of postage on mail mat- 
ter of the third class is one cent for 
each two ounces or fraction thereof. 

The rate of postage on mail mat- 
ter of the fourth class is one cent 
per ounce or fraction thereof , except 
seeds, roots, bulbs, cuttings, scions 
and plants, the postage on which 
is one cent per two ounces or frac- 
tion thereof.

known as The Detroit Produce Ex- 
change. The objects of the associa- 
tion are to concentrate action upon 
the general welfare of the trade, to 
collect and disseminate information, 
to improve business methods, to pro- 
test against unjust discrimination, 
exactions and damages of transpor- 
tation, to demand integrity and fair 
dealing in financial operations, and 
to protect shippers and each other as 
far as possible against fraud, mis- 
representation and injustice. The 
association at present is composed of 
18 of the leading produce dealers in 
Detroit. The Exchange had not se- 
lected permanent quarters previous 
to issuing of this work. E. Gr. New- 
hall, corner Woodbridge and Gris- 
wold streets, is president.

Public Library.— The Detroit 
public library v^as first opened to 
tlie public in the old Capitol build- 
ing, (late High School building), on 
the 25th day of March, 1865, with 
8,864 volumes. It was opened in 
the present building on the 22d day 
of January, 1877, with 33.604 vol- 
umes. The number of volumes on 
hand on the 1st day of January, 
1893, was 115,661. the use of the 
library during the first year of its 
existence was 4,700 volumes. The 
use during the first year of the occu- 
pancy of the present building was 
160,000, and during the last year it 
was about 600,000, or an average 
use of every book in the library up- 
wards of five times during the year. 
This constant use wears out more 
than a thousand volumes every year. 
These are replaced, so far as possible, 
by new copies of the same books. 

An excellent catalogue of the en- 
tire library is now in use. This is 
kept up to date as new books are 
added, so that it is possible to find 
out at once whether any given book 
is in the library or not. 

The library is closely connected 
with the University Extension sys- 
tem, and special books are furnished 
and special facilities are given to 
students in these courses, as well as 
to persons connected with other 
reading circles. For this use of the 
library more room is demanded, and 
measures are now on foot looking 
to an enlargement ©f the building 
by erecting, on the front portion of 
the lot, a structure which shall be a 



credit to the city and serve its pur- 
poses for many years to come. 

Public Works, Board of.— 

This board, established by request 
of the common council, by an 
amendment of the city charter, ap- 
proved April 29, 1873, consists of 
three members, nominated by the 
mayor, and confirmed by the com- 
mon council. The board is vested 
with control and supervision of the 
paving, repaving, cleaning, repair- 
ing, grading, working and improv- 
ing of all streets, alleys, avenues and 
public grounds; the construction, 
altering and repairing of public 
wharves, docks, bridges, culverts, 
receiving basins, sewers and water 
courses; the laying of all side and 
cross walks; the construction of all 
drinking or ornamental fountains; 
the erection of all public buildmgs 
and works of the corporation, with- 
out the power, however, of chang- 
ing the plans or specification of such 
work when once adopted. They 
report to the common council on 
the progress of any work, and all 
bills must be submitted to the said 
common council, who will then 
authorize the controller to draw his 
warrant therefor. The board took 
charge of all public worlds as above 
partially enumerated on the first day 
of January, 1874, and the oflSces of 
street commissioners, overseers of 
highways, city surveyor, the board 
of sewer commissioners, commis- 
sioners on plan of the city, and all 
other oflScers whose duties are now 
performed by the Board of Public 
Works, were abolished from and 
after the third Tuesday of January, 
1874.

Riding Clnb.— The Detroit Rid- 
ing Club was organized during the 
season of 1891-2, at the suggestion 
of one of the oldest members of the 
New York Riding Club. The Club 
secured the Princess Rink, which 
was one of the largest buildings of 
its kind in the city, and fitted up 
stables for 41 horses, and one of the 
largest rings in the country, alsa 
very convenient club rooms, witt 
dressing rooms and lockers for botli 
ladies and gentlemen. The Club haj 
proven very popular with the besi 
people in the city. Many of oui 
most prominent people take advan 
tage of it as valuable education foi 
the young people and children in the 
art of horseback riding. The ClulJ 
has a membership of 150, and the 
opening of the season, October 1st, 
they expect to inaugurate a gooc 
many new features, in the way oi 
classes in cavalry tactics, tandem 
driving, and bare-back riding. The 
Club were so successful with theii 
horse show, which was the first oi 
the kind ever given in Detroit thai 
they have in preparation another f oi 
next season on a very much largei 
sc^le. The season is from Octobe; 
1st to May 1st, during which tim< 
the school is open for classes fron 
9 to 12 A. M., and 2 to 4 p. M., an 
evenings from 7: 30 to 10, except 
ing Wednesday and Saturday, whicl 
are reserved for regular Club riding 
A great man}^ of our business anc 
professional men, who are members 
ride in the ring during the winte; 
and unpleasant weather, from 4 to (

The adoption of the American 
Bertillon System for measuring pris- 
oners — a system unerring in the posi- 
tive identification of a person once 
subjected to its test, also, the photo- 
graphing of criminals, and others 
who are taken into custody and whose 
faces find a place in the Rogues' Gal- 
lery — previously done outside of the 
department — is now performed with- 
in the walls of Headquarters Build- 
ing. 

By this method much time and an- 
noyance is saved, and the subjects so 
photographed are less likely to be- 
come obstreperous, and submit more 
readily to the process than when 
compelled to be taken through the 
streets, in the custody of an oflacer, 
to a photograph gallery as hereto- 
fore. 

This part of the department serv- 
ice is under the immediate direction 
of the chief clerk in the Superintend- 
ent's ofiice, an experienced and prac- 
tical photographer, and the introduc- 
tion of photography into the build- 
ing is one of the new features which 
has from the beginning, been a sue. 
cess and not an experiment. 

With increased facilities for the 
work in hand, the cost to the depart- 
ment of producing its own pictures 
■ of criminals can be reduced to the 
minimum, and results reached second 
to none obtained by other depart- 
ments of police throughout the coun- 
try, of which there are a number 
operating a like system.

walk, drive, or street car ride 
through the main avenues will re- 
veal many beautiful churches, 
schools, residences, etc.; a good 
view of the city and river can be 
obtained from the city hall tower. 
There are also the following places 
which would be worth Visiting: 
Public Library, Art Museum, Water- 
works, Grand Circus Park, House 
of Correction, Boulevard, Soldiers' 
and Sailors' Monument, Bagley 
Fountain, Fort Wayne, and many 
other places of interest. For those 
who enjoy machinery, etc., there 
is the great power-houses of the 
Fort Wayne and Belle Isle Electric 
Street Railroad and Citizens' Street 
Railway Co., and along the river 
front will be found many large fac- 
tories, some of them the largest of 
their kind in the world. Those 
who prefer the large retail stores 
will find them on Woodward avenue 
and vicinity. The wholesale houses 
will be found mostly on lower 
Jefferson avenue and vicinity.'.^ An 
interesting place for business men to 
visit is Griswold street, the Wall

street of Detroit, especially at the 
time of closing the clearing house, 
as that is usually the liveliest part 
of the day. (See Clearing House; 
see also Amusements.) 

Signal Service.— The Detroit 
station is located on the top of the 
Hammond Building, cor. Griswold 
and Fort streets. A superstructure 
is fitted up for the use of the observ- 
er in charge and his assistants. 
Reports are received by telegraph 
from about 150 stations. Observations 
are taken and sent to these stations. 
Cautionary signals are displayed 
whenever a storm is threatened. 
This is also headquarters for the 
Michigan Weather Service. 

Skating— Is a very popular 
sport in Detroit. The city has 
erected a large casino or pavilion 
on the edge of one of the artificial 
lakes at Belle Isle Park for the ex- 
clusive use of skaters in the winter. 
There are separate rooms for each 
sex, and thousands go there every 
year during the season. Admission 
is free. There are also many pri- 
vate rinks in the city. 

Soldiers' and Sailors' Monu- 
ment. — Is located opposite the city 
hall, and contains some very fine 
bronze statues. 

Steamboats— Of all sizes, from 
the diminutive steam launch to the 
powerful and commodious lake 
vessels, can be seen at all times of 
the day or night on the river. The 
Detroit and Cleveland steamers are 
the largest and most elegantly furn- 
ished passenger boats on the lakes, 
and the Detroit, Belle Isle and 
Windsor Ferry Co.'s boats are the 
finest of their class. All vessels 
passing to or from Chicago and the 
east must go and 'come by way of 
the Detroit river, and at times the 
scene is a very interesting one. 



Storage Companies.— There are 

several large buildings in Detroit 
devoted to storage purposes, where 
parties, leaving town or for other 
reasons, can leave anything from a 
hand satchel to a houseful of furni- 
ture. Some of the companies will 
advance money on goods stored 
with them. Following is a list of 
the principal storage companies, 
with their location: 

Central Storage Co., 16 Gratiot 
avenue.

Telegraph Offices.— Two compa- 
nies have oflaces in Detroit. The 
Western Union, located corner Gris- 
wold and Congress streets, and The 
Postal Telegraph Co. , located corner 
Griswold street and Lafayette ave. 
The competition of the two compa- 
nies keep rates lower than they would 
be if there were only one. 

Telephone, Long Distance.— 

Perhaps the most wonderful thing 
in this progressive age is the rapid 
development of the art of telephony. 
Since the introduction of the tele- 
phone, less than twenty years ago, 
it has been made almost perfect. 
About eight years ago the first ex- 
periments in long distance telephon- 
ing were made, and to-day it is pos- 
sible to talk with people at a distance 
of 1,000 miles, and the conversation 
is as intelligible as if the two persons 
were speaking in the same room. 

The six telephone booths are all 
adjoining, but as the partition wall3 
and doors are made double thick- 
nesses, the booths are absolutely 



TEL— THE 



68 



sound-proof. The office is elegantly 
equipped and thoroughly conveni- 
ent. 

The long distance telephone was 
opened to the Detroit public on Feb. 
18, 1893, Edward D. Trowbridge, 
manager, and is located at the corner 
of Griswold and Larned streets. The 
charge is $2.00 for -Q-ve minutes. 

Xo charge is made in case the per- 
son telephoning is unable to get the 
man he wants. Appointments to 
talk are made without charge. The 
company has a night rate— half rate 
— from 6 p. m. to 8 a. m. 

Eastern states, notably in New 
England, New York and Pennsylva- 
nia, are gridironed with metallic 
lines connecting with the long dis- 
tance lines. These lines are adapted 
for longdistance work, and' through 
them can be reached hundreds of 
points not on the regular long dis- 
tance lines. The Michigan Bell Com- 
pany has a first-class metallic circuit 
to Port Huron and another to Wyan- 
dotte, Trenton and Grosse He, and 
more are being built throughout the 
state. 

The American Telephone & Tele- 
graph Company's head office is at 18 
Cortlandt street, New York. Its 
lines extend eastward from New 
York to Boston, including New Ha- 
ven, Hartford, Providence, Spring- 
field, Worcester and other important 
cities. Another line runs from N ew 
York to Buffalo via Troy, Syracuse, 
Rochester, etc. Still another line 
runs south to Philadelphia, Balti- 
more and Washington. The main 
line extends from New York w^est- 
ward to Milwaukee, takmg in Read- 
ing, Altoona, Pittsburgh, Toledo and 
Chicago. The Detroit line runs into 
the main line at Maumee, Ohio, near 
Toledo. 

Telephones. — There are about 
4300 in use in Detroit, nearl}^ every 
business place having one; all drug 



stores have one, and many other re- 
tail stores. No one is allowed by 
the company to charge outsiders for 
the use of a 'Phone. Prices for 
business places range from $72 per 
year, within half-mile circle, up ac- 
cording to distance; |15 being added 
for every additional half mile. Resi- 
dences, ^50 per 3^ear within half-mile 
circle, with same rate of increase. ^ 
The offices are located at the corner f 
of Clifford street and Washington t 
avenue. 

Temperature. — The temperature 
of Detroit, as contrasted with many 
other cities is very even and health- 
ful. The following data is furnished 
by the local meterological bureau : 
Maximum temp. 101% July 17, 1887. 
Minimum temp. *-24% Dec. 22, 72. 
fMean annual temp, 48** 1'. j 

fMean monthly rainfall, 2.73 in. I 
Prevailing direction of wind, s. w. 
Average daily wind movement, 
234 miles. 

Average number of rainy days per 
year, 153. 

Theatres.— During the past few 
years there has been a very decided 
change for the better in Detroit the- 
atricals, the result is that Detroit, 
unlike most other large cities, is en- 
tirely free from low-class theatres or 
music halls. Following is a list of 
Detroit Theatres : 

Detroit Opera House, Campus ^ 
Martins, near City Hall. 

German Theatre, corner Russell - , 
and Mullett streets. '^ 

Lyceum Theatre, Randolph and 
Champlain streets. 

Whitney's Opera House, Griswold 
street, near Michigan avenue. 

AVonderland Theatre in Wonder- 
land Musee, Woodward avenue, near 
Jefferson avenue.

Titles.— The Register of Deeds 
keeps a record of all titles, deeds and 
contracts registered with him. His 
office is located in the City Hall. 
Heretofore all abstracts have been 
furnished by the Burton Abstract 
Agency, but the Union Trust Com- 
pany recently commenced the enor- 
mous undertaking of compiling a 
new record of all real estate proper- 
ty, going back to the original French 
owners. This will occupy a large 
force of clerks about two years. 

Tobacco.— Detroit is quite a to- 
bacco centre, there being thousands 
of Detroiters employed in the facto- 
ries of this city. The principal ones 
are Daniel Scotten & Co. 

J. J. Bagley & Co. 

Banner Tobacco Co. 

Globe Tobacco Co. 

American Eagle Tobacco Co.

Turner Societies in Detroit, mostly 
composed of Germans, who hold fre- 
quent picnics, with games and other 
Turner exercises. 

Undertakers. — Detroit has her 
full quota of these necessary people, 
and one can obtain their services at 
any time of the day or night. Prices 
range from a few dollars to several 
hundred, according to what is de- 
sired. 

University of Michigan— Is lo- 
cated at Ann Arbor, a beautiful and 
lively city of 15,000, located on the 
Michigan Central R. R., about 35

Water Commissioners, Board 

of. — Created in 1853 by act of Legis- 
lature at the request of the Common 
Council, which act was amended in 
1873. The Board has the power to 
provide for the "completion and 
management of the Detroit Water 
Works," and for the purpose of 
*' supplying the City of Detroit and 
without the limits thereof with pure 
and wholesome Avater." 

There are five members of the 
Board, chosen one each year by the 
Common Council upon the nomina- 
tion of the Mayor, to serve without 
compensation. 

Water Works.— The pumping 
works are situated in the Water 
Works Park, four miles east and up 
the river from the City Hall, and can 
be reached by Jefferson ave. electric 
cars. Three engines, with an aggre- 
gate daily capacity of 78,000,000 
gallons, supply the citj^with another 
in course of construction with a ca- 
pacity of 25,000,000 gallons. 

The average dailv quantity pump- 
ed in 1892 was 33*',634,554 gallons, 
which was 2,444,612 gallons less than 



that of 1887. although the population 
wass about 60,000 more. This was 
caused by, the measures introduced by 
the Board to restrict waste, which is 
principally effected by placing me- 
ters, over 2,100 being in use Janu- 
ary 1, 1893. 

The expense of operating the 
works in 1892 was less than $90,000, 
or about $5,000 less than in 1887. 

There are now over 431 miles of 
pipe in the city. 

Wayne County J dl— Is a large 
stone building, with high brick walls 
around it, and is located corner Clin- 
ton avenue and Raynor street. The 
sheriff's residence adjoins it on the 
west side. 

Whitney's Opera House— Is lo- 
cated on Griswold street, near Michi- 
gan avenue, and is a very cosy, well 
furnished theatre, producing popu- 
lar plays at popular prices during 
the season. 

Windsor is located on the Cana- 
dian side of the Detroit river, oppo- 
site the central portion of Detroit. 
Ferry steamers run every few min- 
utes daily, the jesiT around, between 
Detroit and Windsor. 

Woodmere Cemetery, located in 
the Township of Springwells, on 
Fort street west, 4% miles from the 
City Hall, contains 202 acres, about 
one-third of which has been improved 
and platted into burial lots; was 
dedicated and opened to the public 
July 18th, 1869. Take Fort Wayne 
& Belle Isle electric cars. 

Woodward avenue—Is the prin- 
cipal avenue in Detroit, starting at 
the river and running straight north 
through the city and for miles be- 
yond. The avenue from the river to 
Jefferson aveilue is occupied mostly 
by wholesale houses, from Jefferson 
avenue to High street, by large retail 



'^1 WAT— YAC 

establishments, and from High street 
out by magnificent churches and 
elegant residences, with spacious and 
well kept grounds. 

Wyandotte is a pleasant city of 
10,000 population, located on the 
Detroit river, 10 miles southwest of 
Detroit. Many Detroiters have sub- 
urban residences in Wyandotte, and 
along the Electric street car line- con- 
necting Detroit and Wyandotte. 
The latter is also reached by the 
Michigan Central R. R., Lake Shore 
& Michigan Southern R. R., and 
insummer by a regular line of steam- 
ers. The principal industry at Wy- 
andotte is shipbuilding. 

Yachting is a favorite pastime in 
and about Detroit, the adjoining 
waters being admirably adapted for 
the purpose. 

A spin across Lake St. Clair to the 
Flats, on a moonlight night with a 
fair breeze, is one of the trips that 
are very often taken, and a trip 
around Belle Isle and as far as the 
Grosse Point light cannot be excell- 
ed. The cost of running a yacht, 
where a family or party of friends 
are accommodated, will compare 
very favorably with the board bill 
at any fashionable hotel. There are 
numerous yachts in and around De- 
troit, and they present a splendid 
sight on regatta days, when under 
way with all sails set. The sails 
on the ordinary yacht are the main- 
sail, staysail, jib, jibtopsail, topsail, 
balloon jib, spinaker and water sail. 

There are three yacht clubs in and 
about Detroit, to-wit. : The Citizens' 
Yachting, located at the foot of Mc- 
Dougall avenue, the Michigan Yacht 
Club, located on Belle Isle, and the 
Detroit Yacht Club. Of these three 
clubs the C. Y. A., the youngest, 
has the largest membership'; with a 
splended club house and largest 
number of yachts. The duties of a 



YAC— YOU

yachtsman, when under way, is to 
attend to the position assigned him 
by the captain. An important po- 
sition is that of steward who attends 
to refreshments, etc. 

Young Men's Christian Associa- 
tion. — The Young Men's Christian 
Association is the church at work 
especially in the interests of young 
men. It endeavors, through its four- 
fold work, to prevent some from go- 
ing wrong, to reach and save others 
that have gone wrong. 

The Mental Department has the 
reading room and library, lectures 
and evening educational classes. 



The Social, its various '*Interso- 
cialities," concerts, members' re- 
unions, etc. 

The Physical uses as fine a gym- 
nasium as there is in the west, with 
luxurious shower, sponge and plunge 
baths attached. 

The Spiritual Nature is cared for 
b}^ the various Bible classes and re- 
ligious services. 

The Association was organized in 
1864, incorporated in 1867, and in 
1887 dedicated the magnificent build- 
ing which it now occupies, located 
corner of Grand River avenue and 
Griswold street.
